Default Whistler mod?

Hey guys, I was wondering if I should do the whistler mod on my car since I have a lot of black on the front end. Would doing it be too much or finish the look of the car off? So far the car was stock looking when I bought it last year. Since then I've done the shorty ant, black camaro letters in the back, striped the molding off, painted the black manta, blackened the side markers and turn signals, black ss grille and painted the calipers black with Crome camaro letters plus put a black ss nose emb on, and added black crome zo6 spider wheels. So do I whistler the headlights or not. Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't normally feel a pooter car would look good with whistlers, but your car is begging for it! Do it... and nice job so far on the appearance mods

Without a doubt! It would go perfectly with the theme of your car. Unless your lenses look brand new then I would recommend getting new lenses from some ebay halo lights. Anything less than perfect will show with a black background...

Hey guys, I just bought the stuff to do it and was wondering if I got the right paint. I bought black, not the satin I guess it's gloss paint for plastic. I looked at the video and the hall of fame threads and it just says black or satin. Does it need to be heat temperature? Just want to make it look good and last a long time. Anyone help appreciated.

Whistler on Pewter is wicked. I actually used a metallic black on mine.

Inspiration for you:

Ah, I can't resist responding to that... I feel chrome on Pewter looks better IMO, but I'm biased.



Please ignore my dopey roommate.


That said, the OP's car would look really good with the Whistler mod.
